scia Systems - Equipped for Precision

We are a full range supplier of advanced ion beam and plasma processing equipment. The systems are applicable for coating and etching processes in the production of microelectronics, MEMS and precision optical components, in both, high volume production as well as research and development environments.

Due to their flexible and modular design, our process systems can be configured according to customer specific requirements. Amongst others by combining several vacuum process chambers into cluster or in-line solutions. Together with our worldwide service partners, we offer comprehensive service and superior technology support.
